Ok so my old P4 Computer build has finally died and its about time for me to build my a new computer. I wanted ask you guys which socket mobo will be the most future proof in your eyes. AM3 or 1366 or 1156? I want to be able to upgrade to another CPU sometime in the future. I got stuck with my P4 and i dont want that to happen again.
I pretty much have a build in mind but its with the am3 socket, im just scared amd will not use this socket for very long.

But for around the same price i can just get the ASRock X58 Extreme LGA 1366($169) and i7 920($200)

Which socket do you think is more future proof and would you get the i7 over the am3? Your feedback would be much appreciated!
